1. Donna W.

“Donna was wonderful. All the cats give her four paws up! She sent daily reports on what cats were doing and eating, and photos. Really appreciated her care!”


2. Audriana D.
“We first met Audrie when she knocked on our door seeking to sell us Girl Scout cookies with her mom. Discovering that she was a neighbor we asked if she would be interested in doing some cat sitting. We’re fortunate that she said yes. She subsequently became our sole support for a number of years. We had full trust in her abilities, reliability and honesty. We know she will be competent and capable care taker of all kinds of pets.”


3. Cynthia A.

“Cynthia was amazing! Attentive, responsive, and flexible with my schedule. I trusted her completely taking care of my puppy. Highly recommend!”


4. Tina V.
“I have known Tina Vela for over 40 years and would highly recommend her to Rover. Tina is responsible, honest, hard working, reliable, and trust worthy. As a pet lover she has always had cats and dogs. Recently, 2 young cats showed up in her backyard. While trying to find the owners, she made sure they had food, water, shelter and heated blankets. Eventually she was able to bring them out of the harsh weather and give them safety. She fell in love with the both kitties but her 2 resident cats were not happy! Tina was able to get the both kitties fixed and adopted to good homes. This is just one example of her compassion for animals. She is a true animal lover through and through who has a huge heart and love for “all” animals. She would be a reliable asset to Rover, while offering a “peace of mind” to the pet’s owners knowing that their fur babies are being taken care when in her care.”


5. Ferha M.
“Ferha has done drop in visits for my Boston terrier’s, and has stopped in to take care of my cat while on vacation. She loves animals, the animals love her! She always shows up when she is asked. Very kind, trustworthy, and reliable!”


6. Melissa M.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa as a pet caregiver. She is reliable, loves animals, and is incredibly patient. I have a shy dog who takes time to warm up, but by the end of her pet sitting, my dog was happily sitting on her lap and they had become friends. I always turn to Melissa for my dog's care!”


7. Lauren E.

“Omg thank you so sweet went above and beyond!!”


8. Sara N.

“I was nervous about hiring a stranger for many reasons but Sara is so clearly a caring and compassionate dog person! One of my dogs is an anxious scared cat and she brought special treats to woo him❤ My other dog needs insulin injections twice a day and she handled that like a pro! She gave us pictures and updated with every visit and put my anxious self at ease. I am so happy we used Sara and will 100% be using her in the future.”


9. Janelle T.

“Janelle was very friendly and professional. My dog Emily was comfortable and enjoyed Jenelle’s visit with. We will definitely be booking Jenelle again in the future.”


10. Kristina G.

“Kristina was awesome, Kristina arrived on time, was really pleasant, and very attentive to all the odds and ends of relevant info. My GS puppy totally adored her. (Kristina is an expert tennis balls thrower). I came home to a happy and relaxed dog. I highly recommend her services.”


11. Eliza L.

“Life saver! Puppy was acting up and having stomach issues. She arrived early and made sure she was well taken care of including cleaning up a few messes. Definitely went above and beyond the normal drop in visit. Highly recommend!”


12. Kayla G.

“Very reliable. We appreciate your help”


13. Olesia S.
“For many years, she owned charming Burmese cats. The care and affection she showed towards them was simply amazing. If I had to leave my pet for a while, I would definitely choose Olesya and trust her completely.”


14. Phil L.
“I have known Phil for many years and he has always had a love for animals. We have used him many times. He is reliable and is attentive to their individual needs. He takes the time to play with them and provides photos to show our pups are ok. When taking a vacation it is always hard to leave my pets but having Phil watching them because of his attentiveness know they are being well cared for and that give me the peace of mind needed to enjoy my time away.”


15. Amaya B.

“Amaya made my first Rover experience amazing. She sent photos and videos every time she checked on my cat. My cat looked so happy to be with her and was even sad when Amaya finished her last visit. I am looking forward to booking her to watch my cat the next time I go out of town!”


16. Emma H.
“Emma is my go-to pet sitter whenever I'm out of town. My dog is my only baby and I wouldn't trust anyone else! My fur baby is always 110% taken care of, loved, and happy to see her, she is both reliable and responsible. I always know that I never have to worry about my pup when she in in her care!”


17. Kristina S.
“Kristina was amazing! Our cat, Magnus loved her. She did everything she could to take care of Magnus and was great at keeping us updated on her visits.”


18. Karla P.
About: I am currently going to school for dog training and learning how to train dogs so if you have things you need help with I can help you. I currently am working part time and I will have plenty of time to be able to play with your puppy I currently get off at 4pm and I’ll have plenty of time to play with them. I will not be doing any boarding unfortunately. I will make sure I put doggy shoes on him/her before walking her out side and if they can’t go outside due to them being a puppy I will make sure they get there energy out before I leave


19. Abby S.
“Abby has helped care for two of our dogs, an older golden retreiver that is no longer with us, and our current puppy-esque 11 mo lab/mastiff mix. She employs a lot of patience and love towards our furbabies, but leads with a firm hand and has helped us to be better dog parents. She is very adept at reading dog body language, and can often times stave off issues before they get out of control. She is very repectful to the wishes of dog parents, but is great at employing her own methods within boundaries. Thank you Abby! :)”


20. Julie G.
About: I have cared for dogs of all kind since I was a child. I am a dog lover and well experienced in caring for pets. I currently work part time and work from home so I have a lot of availability to care for dogs. I am available weekends and week days as well. I have a fenced yard that is large. I have two separate gated areas in the back. I have a large garage area for playing in open space when weather is cold. Dogs are also welcomed inside, outside and in garage.
